scored some 35x15x15 boggers today on 15x8 aluminium wheels with 40-50% tread. They are a little on the dry side, have some outer lug chunking, and a sidewall gash but they were cheap, have like 3 or 3.5 backspacing, now i no longer will need to make klogger esk wheels even though they are all the rage these days.
I dunno on the axle colman i will be selling it, but not sure for how much, i kinda would like to keep the drive slugs and yoke if they will work on my dodge 44, so i may part it out or sell it whole. Either way it wont be 500 bucks.
Are all 44 yokes the same? Cause if so i can just rob the back one.
Also any opinions on the 2 questions from the first page about running water in the tires or axle movement?

Pretty sure those will be the same, you should be able to rob the rear yoke.Originally Posted by stx4wheeler
Word has it to fill the tires to the top of the rim. I would recommend a mix of antifreeze with it to help keep the rust down if using steel rims.
Did the d44 have a yoke on it when you picked it up from me? Could've sworn it did and I gave you the spare I had. The pinion splines might vary between the waggy and dodge, not sure.
Were you able to get the inner and outer shafts? I had a hard time finding a set since the dodge 44 is more rare, ended up getting them through Houston Drivetrain Service over on 610 east past 59.
i have 4 or 5 more yokes so i won't need it, or i could give you one of mine. you can have the slugs or again i have 2 sets and could give you one of those. i'm kinda low on funds right now but just shoot me a price when you get to making a decision.

robbie the axle had a yoke on it, but i was gonna swap yokes from axle to axle if the u-joint on the one you gave me was different than the waggie driveshafts.
i bought a set of supposed dodge ramcharger shafts both stubs/inner and the inners were a 1/2 inch off on both sides.
then i bought another fullset of ebay for cheap and i now have like 5 or six stubs, a good spare inner short side inner and maybe use the set that is off by 1/2 for spares in a pinch.
alright colman ill shoot you a price when i get to that point.

patched the driverside roof, removed the coffin shaped gas tank, removed the rear axle and springs with some help from karl. Now its time to do some frame patching before any further work is done. The 8.8 is 7 inches wider wms to wms than the rear 44 fyi.

alright T- 18 days and counting. I "mounted" big nasty's old tank to the bed with some ratchet straps and some half inch rubber mat between the tank and the bed give it some give. I mounted,plumbed, and wired the electric fuel pump. Fixed the super rusty frame with 3x3x3/8. I also changed the oil, and installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge( yet it isnt getting any oil in the line or showing any pressure- might have to look at this again). I also cleaned up the brakes on the 8.8 and welded up some grinder marks from spring perch removal. No pics at this point.

You have to prime the oil gage. Remove the hose from the fitting. Point it at your face, or the face of a nearby colleague. Start the engine. When the oil squirts out it's primed.
